12:01 am
you're watching r.t. we're live from moscow welcome to the program egyptian activists are calling for a million people to converge on tahrir square later on friday saying the revolution's goals have not been achieved high ranking officials of the previous mubarak regime in charge of the organizing tax on civilians while the former president's trial is pending next month and this another way reports of the evil regimes legacy is still very much alive. their revolution was hijacked and they want it back egypt's uprising might have ousted president mubarak but to them he's far from gone. we got rid of mubarak about so the more bots that it was still alive and well the taste of freedom was short lived the military is in full power mass media is being choked him. oppression still rampant worth before i think
12:02 am
they werent catching activists as much as they are doing now. they'd been through a prison i guess now they're being really violent they want to kill you the school in the first place he's known simply as uncle thorsten here in egypt a social network or with a twitter army of some thirty thousand followers the military troilus of civilians have to store immediately immediately this is you know one of the major demands we're putting forward one of many demands including transparent trials for the fallen regime and the purging of corrupt officials unfortunately people. they had this kind of revenge with water that when he fell down they felt it's over everything is going to be fine and the country is full of cleaned up. but it.
12:03 am
was too. early in the week protesters began setting up camp here on top clear for what they're calling the next phase of the revolution but this time they don't just want hundreds of thousands to come here they want to take our career across egypt and get rid of the little people like myself have been arguing for people. they can pay you to be. in the workplace since. it's in every single workplace we have in egypt it is a now what it was never interested in politics in till january she was shot with twenty three pellets by riot police twenty of which are still in her like the pain is finally gone but her perseverance is not the barrier of fear is gone. and she will continue to fight to the end i want every every egyptian citizen to be treated as a human being every protester has their own vision of the egypt they are fighting
12:04 am
for some want a constitution then free elections others think the new laws should follow the vote but one thing that brings them all together is that this egypt is not the end and he said no way r t cairo. but in libya rebel forces have advanced on a key road south of tripoli as a battle away towards the capital meanwhile u.s. lawmakers are continuing to bankroll the vehicle despite repeated complaints that it's not sanctioned by congress franklyn them from americans concerned the middle east peace so nato is bombing is only uniting people under. the bombing needlessly puts the population on edge it increases anxiety and anger if they do is trying to weaken the regime it seems to me that as history teaches us would be a bomb the population is often the unite behind the government of been day and
12:05 am
rather than breaking the connection between the people and the leadership it seems to increase it was a mistake obama election may be on the line cannot afford a defeat and the victory comes like it's supposed to be as it is saddam and osama you gotta kill the bad guy so it looks to us like it's now a game of targeting the leadership otherwise nato ruses if they don't loses the consequences are enormous there's enormous trillion dollar financial consequences for those members of the nato countries who are seen as aggressors and invaders here so the feeling is that they've got to do something the only thing they can do possibly to achieve a victory is either assassinate khadafi and some of his circle orders and to do that they might have to come on the ground nato has joined the side of promoting the rebels against the government again a clear violation of thousand nine hundred seventy three. i was i thought if i can
12:06 am
lob from the americans concern for middle east peace his views on making his actions in libya. now britain's best selling newspapers closing are thinking in the phone hacking scandal it's a blow to the mariner meadow as the world's profits helped drive the dominance of his news corp. sixty eight year old sunday came rolling claims that the phone calls of thousands of crime victims and that soldiers' families had been intercepted he's also he's were in it's a number. it started off relatively really really with just we understood that the news of the world had been allegedly hacking into the phones all celebrities and politicians and to be honest no one in this country really cared about that very much we will think celebrities and politicians are sort of fair game as far as that kind of thing is concerned but then of course it escalates age when it was alleged that the sunday version of the newspaper had tucked in to
12:07 am
the telephones of relatives of soldiers killed in combat and also that those caught up in the two thousand and five london bombings the most shocking thing really for a lot of people in the first thing that was revealed was that news of the world journalists and allegedly hacked into the telephone of a missing girl milly dowler who was later found to have been murdered and we also now know that allegedly senior police officers had been brought by the news of the world to to post on criminal investigations and other confidential information which the of course a crime there are two things that we should take away from this for now one of them is only this kind of action couldn't have taken place without an ok from the very highest level and in fact i spoke to someone today who knew you know it's the editor of the current editor of the news of the world rupert murdoch said to her you have to keep this paper in high circulation around four million copies a day and you have to do it by any means possible so it's almost like he was giving the green light to that from the very beginning. when the british government has
12:08 am
a promising at least one inquiry into the allegations against the news of the world media analyst told r.t. that the scandal is something no politicians you know read books newspapers so it's the. i think something changed this week and you know for decades british prime ministers have been on their knees to the to the murdoch press because they knew that when the sun which is his main daily newspaper here in britain when the sun supported a british politician running for prime minister if it you know they won it and then you find on the next day you find the prime minister reading the sun and looking like an idiot same girl the son who got me elected i mean so you've got this demeaning of british democracy is that missing of democracy really which the murdoch press was at the heart of but i think and there was a for a silence as well because important people needed the murdoch press and they couldn't be and they couldn't attack it because of that and i think a line was crossed but i think of the action that you know the rupert murdoch shows
12:09 am
that they'll be more revelations about remember richard murdoch has a very finely tuned business brain and in my view this was a business decision he has a lot of things going on now one of them is to purchase the largest satellite network in britain called b. sky b. and that decision is about to be approved by the government that was in jeopardy i think he felt that as a businessman he had to sacrifice the news of the world because it in terms of the whole news international it's a tiny part of or back in terms of his global empire and in the profits it brings yes it was profitable but he can sacrifice that very easily and furthermore he could maybe in a year have a sunday sun the sun is the daily newspaper that he's very successful at and reopen something like that but i tell you the most important thing in my view is that the political class had been sucking up to rupert murdoch for so many years including prime minister david cameron he now has to stand back and say no i can't do it
12:10 am
anymore it's gone too bad. weather still ahead in the program a ga brings down the shutters on photographers. as well as it's clear that the presence of framings plans despise the balls to his machine of the world. sure it's not a big deal here guys it's like expect to be over. in russia close up doctors discovery that's been helping generations of patients a new born again that's on the way here today. hundreds of pro palestinian activists are trying to reach blockaded gaza there after several ships among an aid that they were forced to dock in greece they're heading for target is the largest international airport for europe and the u.s. but around top israeli security is waiting for them on a sneer is there for us. this is the focal point straight from the course of today friday some six hundred activists will be arriving on fifty different ways to show
12:11 am
the support for the palestinian people will be converging here at israel's largest airport been going international the israelis are paid out five they must be at least five to six hundred police and security officers and israeli media is reporting that the police have the names of more than three hundred activists the police are refusing to either confirm or deny this now the activists say that the action which has been dubbed a fly to let as opposed to the september which has been held up in greece where some ten shots are being with used the mission by afghans to sell to gaza these activists are saying that they want to highlight the plight of people not only in gaza but across the west bank and the palestinian territories they say that their action is nonviolent they say that they will be open the feel sorry to say here that they intend to travel to the palestinian territories and that proper course of the next week they have a number of activities that they will be participating and it will be interesting
12:12 am
to see how the israeli authorities to be able to deal with this because traditionally when people fly into israel and admit that they're going to the participation of pro palestinian it to tease they can be dealt a very harsh vote very often being supported also in this country already five french and belgian activists have been detained and deported from israel is ratings of covering these people for the guns and troublemakers the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in his latest and greatest civic they will be dealt with as they need to be dealt with me and sister gave that gaza is ignored and to cease but is being held captive by the hamas leadership the most of course being an organization that is well gods as terrorist policy our team thinker in international television . well nasa is historic a final space shuttle mission after waiting for longer bad weather threatening to delay the launch. a million spectators are expected to watch lance's comments on
12:13 am
voyage. and i think you can report will be on them against the moment some pain for others. empty shells that's what was once florida's thriving space coast. up to ten thousand people will be out of a job as soon as the last shuttle makes its final voyage back to earth home to many of the kennedy space center workers rockley is on the verge of becoming a ghost town without the space program or pretty much nothing i mean this is what you know the beach is built on the space program you know it's a lot of people are going to be any jobs are indiana people are going on welfare left and right food stamps anthony chris a fully spent twenty three years with the shuttle launch team as an engineer with a client is blasting off for its final mission it means the end of his career with nasa and the beginning of uncertainty a year ago he started looking for
12:14 am
a new job to no avail i have applied for jobs and so far i haven't gotten any concrete responses there's not that many jobs out there for sure the u.s. scrapped its shuttle program and now wants the private sector to come up with ways to get astronauts to space several companies are working on new vehicles but it's not clear when bill be able to deliver them one thing is certain though bill be able to hire only a fraction of the skilled space industry workers will be out of work soon this is the first shuttle ever it never made it to space but it was used for tests before the columbia shuttle first launch into space in nineteen a new one a total of five shuttles i've been used for space missions says that two of them were lost in tragic accidents in nine hundred eighty six and in two thousand and three those lawsuits and the style rocketing price for each launch gradually led to the cancellation. the program but critics say it's hard to estimate the losses that the end of the shuttle program will bring about both for the space industry and the
12:15 am
people involved i think it's a really bad i think that the united states to this skilled work force it's going to be difficult to rebuild it for years the shuttle has been the only be called that could ferry crew and a massive load of cargo to space officials say one of the reasons the program was scrapped is that it's safer and cheaper to send cargo and people separately something that russia for example has been doing for many years but whatever the reasons for scrapping the thirty year old program for those who devoted their lives to it is the end of their dream job kind of sad because i've already seen a lot of my friends go there when more people there are probably in may never see again it also means the endo for once vibrant scientific community that's grown up around the shuttle going to check out archie. i like let's look at the cyber space now and see what seven notes if you r.t. dot com today europe's
